At a press conference Monday afternoon, Mayor Lori Lightfoot reiterated Superintendent Brown's call to lock up violent criminals.

"Thoughts and prayers are simply not enough at this point," Mayor Lightfoot said. "Sorrow itself is not enough and what it says is we need to do better as a city, this day, this year and really every day. There is no reason we should be feeling and experiencing moments like this."

The mayor was clearly frustrated, and said there needs to be renewed focus on stopping the flow of illegal guns and the pipeline from Indiana. Police took 173 more guns off the streets this weekend, on top of hundreds more the past two weekends.

"What will it take as Americans for us to wake up and recognize that we have to have common sense gun control, period," she wondered.

There were 47 different shooting incidents across Chicago, mostly on the city's South and West sides.

Supt. Brown called for the electronic monitoring system to be revamped, and the mayor suggested more needs to be done to keep violent offenders locked up

"We need to think about those people who have a history of violence and are found to be in possession of firearms, and creating other acts of violence," she said. "There has got to be consequences for them."

Lightfoot also said more has to be done to provide an alternative to a life of crime.
